Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Chapter 34: Training Lesson - A Modest Payback, Intro

Xavida was about to rush away before her eyes dilated, watching in shock as Asura vanished from her sight. It couldn't have been possible—she assumed with an astonished look before his hand cupped her chin, lifting it to face his crimson eyes—glowing with a tempting charm as she leaned closer to her face.

"It's okay..."

Before she could respond or speak, once again, her mind entered that chaotic place of intense satisfaction as, for just a moment, she surrendered herself to his addictive kiss that seemed to have improved.

She surrendered to him submissively, closing her eyes as their tongues danced with each other passionately while her knees trembled, her legs growing numb.

Xavida was completely overwhelmed as Asura pinned her to the wall—it was different from when he was sick or the kiss afterwards...

She could taste his sweet and addictive saliva mixing with her own, unable to extract herself as more of her dark curse was whisked away by his skilful tongue.

Her mind was lost in complete bliss, her consciousness drifting away—unable to resist him anymore—while Asura enjoyed this situation, his hand reaching below her shirt to caress her slender waist and perfect curves, enjoying her smooth skin that sent chills down his spine.

Xavida's mind snapped as she realised what she was doing and shoved him away roughly, panting heavily as she wiped her wet lips, her purple eyes filled with confusion and desire and her tongue licking the traces of his saliva remaining in her mouth.

"I kiss."

Asura's tone and voice were like Xavida's, causing her cheeks to burn brighter as her hands clutched together, unable to deny the benefits and bliss she experienced during that moment... but her heart and mind refused to surrender to this thug!

"Hmph..."

Asura chuckled as he watched her cute expression, coughing weakly while his wounds had healed significantly, causing Xavida to click her tongue in frustration—her cheeks still flushed red.

"Bad Man...!"

She stormed out of the room with a final glare, leaving Asura alone while he leaned on the wall, sighing softly before grinning widely.

What a cute girl.

Thanks to that annoying woman's illusions, I have learned a few things, whether I like to admit it... They are quite useful in this life, especially the bedroom things and teasing these two little maidens.

Asura closed his eyes, trying to dispel the tingling and numbness in his body while trusting Brian's warnings in future. Should he want to absorb from her again, he knew that his power would have to increase.

"Let's go to training. There isn't enough time to meet with Xue'er..."

***

Located just behind the classrooms in the Magic Academy's vast campus was an enormous area with several stages with magically enchanted barriers to protect students during training lessons—these were used in sync with the main stage for the assessment.

Because of the time taken to recover from the intense curse that almost devoured him, he arrived for training close to the limit as Lorem stood silently, wearing a different outfit from her usual suit and skirt instead of a basic leather training outfit.

"Line up, today is your first time training here, but there is nothing special. You pick a partner and fight."

"Eh? Instructor, are you not supposed to guide and teach us how to fight?"

A blonde male with messy hair and brown eyes asked slightly confusedly. From his build, it didn't seem he was used to fighting, and the question was fair. At least, Asura thought it was a fair question.

"I am not here to babysit you; you should have your combat style, fighting, and methods. All I can do is watch you and give pointers based on that. I am not your mentor or trainer but a simple instructor here to avoid unnecessary death."

"Knight Bradley, you help them and give pointers when needed."

An older male with silver armour with countless kinks and blade marks entered the arena, politely saluting Lorem before turning to the students with a straight face.

"Form Pairs."

His voice was powerful and caused most of the students to pick a partner suddenly. Many of the people who didn't fight chose each other, while somehow the Prince chose Asura, watching Lorem, who sat on a broken pillar looking at her hand.

Why does she seem so amazed by her hand? It's just a normal fair-skinned hand, right?

Asura didn't notice momentarily, but then he remembered when the instructor was casting her magic.

Her hand used to have a black scar in the centre that was now completely gone, leaving silky, soft skin.

Sometimes, her gaze would move to Asura in secret, showing confusion and shock that he wasn't dead and seemed even more solid, and his mana was denser than before.

"Oi! Fenix, you are this Prince's partner. A mere Stage One Earl should feel happy to be fighting against me."

Valos seemed to have a bone to pick with Asura, both making his sister shine brighter and then his damn maid threatening him.

"I see."

Asura said nothing or show respect, which caused the knight to frown, while a few of the nobles who supported the Prince smirked, knowing how unforgiving he was to males who disrespected him.

'This idiot truly believes I am just a normal Stage One, huh?'

'Fine... I'll play—since you dare have thoughts towards Xue'er, let me give you a small lesson before I kill you.'

'After all, I can't let this insect tarnish that knight.'

"I am very kind, so you can choose whether we use weapons or magic."

"Oh! Prince Valos is such a wonderful man—beyond our inferior minds and offers his lesser a chance to survive using his strongest talent!"

The Prince and his clowns seemed to be trying to attract attention as the knight instructor looked at the group and remembered something before he raised his hand.

"Wait, everyone, let's see the Prince and the future Earl's duel to set an example of what training should be like. I am sure you ladies would love to see two handsome guys fighting, sweating and getting physical together."

"Kya...!?"

"Instructor is a pervert!"

"And boys, don't you just want to see these damn pretty boys get wounded, bruised and hurt?!"

"Yeah!

"Damn, handsome guys always flirting!"

This Knight is amusing!

"This instructor is pretty amusing..." Lorem muttered as she found it equally interesting to watch the two males fight.

Asura shrugged his shoulders and noticed that Mu Xue looked at him with strong eyes of confidence and a warm smile on her lips, mouthing do your best, master~ and blowing him a kiss before turning back to her friends and being questioned by them.

Turning to face the dragoness constantly gazing at him with daggers while pouting with her slightly swollen lips, her opponent was a normal girl, and thus she seemed annoyed more than usual.

'That girl... did she want to fight me and teach me a lesson!?'

Because she seemed so angry, he kissed her and enjoyed the reaction.

"Let's fight with no weapons, and magic is just fine. Valos."

His voice was dull and seemed a little deeper than usual, causing the Prince to shudder for a moment like a mouse being stared at by a dragon, the fierce red eyes of Asura gazing at him with a deep, garnet glow.

"Come, fight me."
